The Hello and welcome to another edition of So Diaker on song rating.

Joining us for episode 85 is a highly respected

Glasweigian singer-songwriter who for 20 years fronted one of Scotland's

best loved bands, Delamitry, before embarking on a critically lauded solo

career. We're delighted to welcome the hugely talented

Justin Curry to the show.

Justin is a much requested guest so we are happy to oblige the many listeners who've veritably

demanded that we get him on the show. You have to admire their passion

bry, although I did think that laying siege to so the jerky towers with pitchbooks and

burning torches was a tad extreme. Yeah that got pretty ugly. It's not often

we're forced to make use of the rooftop

gatling gun or the boiling oil.

Seriously though we're big admirers of Mr Curry's work you kind of couldn't move

for Dalametry on the radio when we were growing up could you?

Certainly seen that way. They scored the string of hit albums and

singles throughout the late 80s and the 90s such as Kiss This Thing Goodbye,

always the last to know, rolled to me, spit in the rain, nothing ever happens,

all of which hold up extremely well all these years later,

which I think is testament to our guests's robust songwriting.

Indeed.

And I hadn't realized that they began as more of a post-punk indie pop outfit for venturing into the kind of mainstream pop rock sound we now associate them with?

Yeah I think their first album was certainly a very different proposition to what you might call classic Delametry.
